Waterford Marina Hotel

A welcoming hotel with beautiful river views, an ideal location, and exceptional staff. We recently stayed at The Waterford Marina Hotel, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The first thing that stands out is the setting — the views across the river are genuinely lovely, especially in the early morning and evening when the light hits the water. It gives the whole place a calm, relaxed atmosphere that’s hard to beat. The location is another major plus. Being so close to the city centre meant we could walk everywhere with ease, whether it was sightseeing, grabbing a coffee, or exploring the local history. It’s the perfect base for anyone wanting convenience without sacrificing a peaceful setting. What really made the stay memorable, though, was the staff. Both the restaurant team with Amanda helping find us a table, and the front desk were terrific — friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to help. Whether it was offering recommendations, checking in on us during meals, or simply greeting us with a smile, they made us feel completely at home. Don’t be dismayed by some of the pictures of the rear entrance via the car park, the main entrance is stunning. Overall, The Waterford Marina Hotel combines comfort, great views, and outstanding service. It’s a place I’d happily return to and one I’d recommend to anyone visiting Waterford.

This hotel is situated a few minutes walk from the city center, that is a plus. Staff is very friendly and helpful, also a big plus. The rooms have no air-conditioning so if you have a room in the back, above the parking lot, a lot of noise from cars, the kitchen and the music from weddings that take place inside that is a minus

We did not stay here but we have a dinner food where delicious

The view of the water is magnificent. The room was clean with basic amenities. For our group, the table service was quick and professional, provided by the woman in charge. The food was excellent.

The only thing "4 star" about this hotel is the cost and location. The rooms are tiny, the beds are unbelievably uncomfortable, the pillows likely violate the Geneva convention, and the amenities are non-existent. There is also loud music coming from the restaurant every night as well as a shower that overflows into the bathroom with standard use. It should also be noted that there's no way to control the temperature and the rooms are basically a sauna at night. The location is walkable but the rest of the experience is below that of a bad motel.
